Knabe Pianos

Knabe (pronounced kah-nobby) has its origins in the US piano building boom of the late 19th and early 20th centuries. Today Knabe is built by one of the largest piano building consortiums in the world, Samick Music Company. Samick, who also has the controlling interest in Steinway & Sons, has taken the Knabe name back to its roots. Today’s Knabe pianos are built to the same standards, the same scales, and the same sweet tones that would make Wilhelm Knabe proud if he saw them today.

The Knabe comes in two lines of products, the performance grade Concert series that is equivalent to a Yamaha or Kawai and the studio grade Academy Series which offers unparalleled value competes with Yamaha G series, Kawai GM, and Essex (by Steinway).
